Where do you hold your stress?
We all know the answer to this question. For some of us, it's in our shoulders or necks. For others, it's in our guts.
But what is it about stress that allows our bodies to hold "it"?
From a life energy perspective, the stresses of our lives - whether physical, emotional, or mental - cause us to contract or tense our bodies. Doing so freezes or blocks our energy and prevents it from flowing through our systems properly.
This in turn reduces the overall amount of energy we can have in our systems at any one time.
So it's not actually stress that we hold, but our bodies and our life energy. And by holding our energy, we actually reduce the amount of life energy that we have. |
